Havis responds to mobile computing shift with new docking station for the Panasonic Toughbook 53

Warminster, PA - Advances in mobile technology has lead to an increase in jobs involving in-vehicle computing. Historically, companies choosing to utilize mobile computers were limited to laptops that were built to extensive military standards. As computing has become more prevalent in vehicles, the convergence of business laptops and military laptops has expanded the Semi-Rugged Laptop market. As technology shifts, Havis, Inc. responds.

Havis, Inc. has developed the industry’s first Toughbook Certified docking station for the Panasonic Semi-Rugged 53. Toughbook certification ensures the docking station is built to the same standards as the laptop it supports. Havis takes it a step further by crash testing the solution at Detroit-area test facilities to minimize the risk of injury during an accident. Havis is the only company in the industry to test every docking station to Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) standards. Ultimately, this testing provides mobile computing users the confidence they need to complete their job.

In addition to keeping mobile workers safe, the docking station for the Toughbook 53 provides intelligent port replication so users can reliably connect to peripherals, such as printers, keyboards and bar-code scanners, while minimizing the risk of accidental disconnects. An integrated power supply cord is routed along the bottom of the docking station to prevent loss of power. These features allow mobile workers to utilize point-of-sale, vehicle logistics and other mobile applications safely and reliably in their vehicle.
